Gifting A Memory This Holiday Season
I am the youngest child in a large, loving and wonderfully diverse family. Some of my older brothers and sisters were already married and just beginning families of their own when I was born. When I was growing up I used to laughingly explain that sometimes it felt like I had multiple sets of parents because of the unique design of my family. And of course as the years have passed and I now have my own little family, my brothers and sisters are my best friends. Because for me family is everything.
My sister Nicki and I have a special bond. We talk several times a day every day and as we have gone through the rocky transition of caring care for our elderly mother, I could not have imagined doing it without her. She is also the best Tia ever. Just in case you didn’t know, Tia is the Spanish word for Aunt.
Every year I try to buy her something meaningful for Christmas to show her how grateful I am for her. This year I decided to gift her a Vera Wang Embrace Fragrance Set from COTY. Fragrance and smells are such a central part of some of my most treasured memories and so my hope is that as she puts this fragrance on she will be reminded of the bond and mutual love we share and also that it becomes a gift to help her make new memories.
I found my Vera Wang gift set at my local Walgreens and it came in such a cute package! There are several other gift Vera Wang set options available; Vera Wang Signature, Princess, Forever Vera, Lovestruck and Bejeweled. I of course picked out the sparkly silver Embrace gift set, because I knew my sister would love it!
I am so excited and can hardly wait to give it to her for Christmas! For me that has always been one of the best parts of Christmas, giving to others and I know she will absolutely love what I picked out for her. Who wouldn’t?
So this Holiday season why not start a new tradition and give the gift of fragrance to someone on your list? This makes holiday gift giving so much less hectic for you and helps ensure that you find the perfect fragrance gift set for everyone on your list! You can find more ways to gift a memory this holiday season, HERE.
Take a look at the wonderful COTY Holiday gift sets that are available:
Nautica Gift Set: (Voyage or Nautica Blue)
Beyoncé Gift Set (Heat, Pulse, or Rise)
Katy Perry Gift Set (Killer Queen, Royal Revolution, or Mad Potion)
Vera Wang Gift Set (Signature, Princess, Forever Vera, Lovestruck, or Bejeweled)
Stetson (Original, Black, Caliber, or Sierra)
Have fun gifting and making memories!
Love,
Jen

I love the sparkly silver one too!
I have two sisters and there’s nothing like that bond. Of course, both are pregnant with their first babies so the excitement is about to grow very much!
Vera Wang rocks. I have three of her scents.

That is so exciting! An aunt double times over!
Can you believe it, but I was an aunt 6 months after I was born? That made for some very interesting conversations about my family as I grew up!

I’ve not worn a fragrance in years. Worked with someone with a horrible allergy so quit using my precious fragrance. Then I just got out of the habit.
I’m sure your sister will love this gift. You’re right, who wouldn’t.
Have a fabulous day. ☺

Isn’t it funny how habits are formed? That was very considerate of you, because some people might have still just worn the perfume regardless of the co-workers allergies.
Thanks! You too!

Sounded like the perfect gift for your sister, Nicki and definitely been wanting to try the Vera Wang perfume there out too to be honest! :)

I don’t really wear much perfume, but I do like the idea of gifting it, especially to invoke memories! I am sure your sister will love this set. It’s really cute too – which is always a plus. ;)

Thank you! I hear you, sometimes just showering is a process and I almost always forget to add the perfume. I love them though so now I am trying to be more deliberate in remembering to apply some of my most favorite scents too!
Jen recently posted…Gifting A Memory This Holiday Season
Uh-oh, busted! You know she’s going to find this post! Hope she loves it :)
I know! Hopefully not, she has a big court case this week at work so I am hoping all I write over here gets missed :)

Haha! Sounds familiar. This year on a wild whim I got it done early. Kind of glad too as every child is vomiting in my house today.

I love all of the gift sets that come out at the holidays! I wish they were there year round for birthdays and other special occasions!

How amazing to have such a great relationship with your siblings and a lovely gift for the season.
Thank you! I know she is going to love it!
Jen recently posted…Gifting A Memory This Holiday Season
Those make such wonderful gifts! That’s the kind of stuff I love receiving. And yes I’m part of a large family too, though probably not as large as yours (five of us). But yeah, my older sisters feel like pseudo-moms to me because they took care of us younger ones too!
I really love hearing about the dynamics of other families. Five is a big family. Interesting, but inadvertently I created a similarly type structured family. My oldest is 14 and my youngest is 2. The 2 year old has a whole passel of caring watchers in her life.

Hi Jen, nice smellies always make a welcome gift. This year I got my Dad to get my Mum her favourite perfume in a gift set (he’s hopeless at Christmas!). I’m not familiar with Vera Wang fragrances, but will give them a sniff if I see them over here.
I am sure your sister will enjoy her gift set as much as you enjoyed buying it!

I used to always help my Dad find the right gift for my Mom. I miss that. I bet she will love what you helped him select!

Thanks Laura! I love that angel figurine. It was my Grandma’s and as a little girl I had always wanted it. I was so happy the day she gave it to me.
